Handling Live Lobsters: Please open the carton and inspect the lobsters on arrival. If all the lobsters seem healthy and the box is still cold and moist please store them in the box until you are ready to prepare them. Add bagged ice to the box if necessary. Please make sure that the bag doesn’t leak. Fresh water will kill lobsters. The lobsters must be kept cool. If their body temperature rises significantly, the lobsters will perish. If upon inspection one of the lobsters seems listless it is still all right to prepare. When a healthy lobster is cooked the tail will curl under the body. If the tail curls on the cooked lobster, the lobster is safe to eat.

If for some reason you find that you can not prepare the lobsters on the day of delivery, you may partially cook them and then keep them in the refrigerator. Simply place the lobsters in boiling water for six minutes, and then remove them. (Please make sure that the water has returned to a boil before you start to time the six minutes). Refrigerate the lobsters right away. You can then cook the lobsters again for ten minutes within two days. Doing this will not diminish the quality or the taste of the lobsters.

If you do not call us on the scheduled day of delivery we cannot assume any responsibility for the lobsters.
